Buy Gems in Azur Lane at the best price by Player ID

Azur Lane is a mobile collection RPG with tactical naval battles in a side-scrolling shooter style. The game is developed by Manjuu (Shanghai) and Yongshi (Xiamen), published by Yostar for the global market. It launched in 2017 in China and Japan, with the English Global version released by Yostar in August 2018. The game is available on iOS and Android and as of April 2026 continues to receive weekly updates — the last server maintenance was on April 23, 2026.

The core mechanic revolves around collecting "shipgirls," personifications of real WWII warships. As of April 2026, the game features over 600 ships, including retrofits and collaborations. Ships are divided into 14 factions, such as Eagle Union (US Navy), Royal Navy (UK), Sakura Empire (Japan), Iron Blood (Germany), Northern Parliament (USSR), Sardinian Empire (Italy), and others. Battles occur in real-time: a main fleet of heavy ships in the back row and a vanguard of destroyers and cruisers in the front.

What are Gems in Azur Lane

Gems are the only premium currency in Azur Lane. They cannot be earned in significant quantities through battles — most Gems are awarded as one-time achievements, first-clear rewards, or rare quests. For collectors and active players, purchasing Gems is the only way to cover basic long-term needs.

What Gems are spent on:

• Dock Expansion — the starting dock fills up quickly. 10 additional slots cost 200 Gems. Experienced commanders recommend expanding to at least 300 slots in the first month.
• Promise Ring (Oath Ring) — allows you to pledge an Oath to a favorite shipgirl. Grants +5 love levels, stat bonuses, and unlocks additional dialogue. Costs 600 Gems.
• Live2D Skins — Azur Lane is famous for high-quality cosmetic skins. Event skins (especially for UR/SSR ships) are time-limited and offer no combat advantages — purely visual.
• Dorm 2nd Floor — 500 Gems. Adds 5 slots for passive morale recovery. Ships with high morale gain +20% battle experience.
• Academy Slots — more parallel training slots speed up leveling niche units for hardcore content.
• Depot Expansion — for storing weapons, torpedoes, and aircraft for a growing fleet.

Unlike classic HoYoverse gacha games, Azur Lane Gems cannot be converted into a separate "prayer" currency — ship construction uses Wisdom Cubes, which are earned freely through daily missions. Thus, Gems in Azur Lane are primarily spent on expansions and comfort, not "pulling for characters."

How to buy Gems in Azur Lane at the best price

Topping up Azur Lane via Ashop requires your Player ID and server platform. No Yostar account password is needed or requested.

Step 1 — Find your Player ID in-game

Player ID is the numeric identifier of your Azur Lane account. How to find it:

• Open the game and tap the commander avatar in the top-left corner of the main screen.
• In the profile, the Player ID is displayed below the commander’s name.
• Copy the Player ID — do not enter it manually to avoid typos.

Step 2 — Determine your server platform

Azur Lane on the EN/Global server supports multiple login methods, each treated as a separate platform for top-ups due to Yostar’s account system:

• Yostar — standard account registered via email with Yostar Pass.
• Facebook — account created or linked via Facebook login.
• ID (Indonesia / Yostar ID) — regional server for Indonesian players.

Most Gem packs and bundles in Ashop’s catalog are available for Yostar and Facebook (choose based on your login method). If unsure, check the game settings for your authorization method.

Step 3 — Select a pack in the catalog

Available categories on Ashop’s Azur Lane page:

• Gems — packs from 300 Pile of Gems to 4900 Ship of Gems.
• Packs — New Commanders Support Pack I-IV, Commander Level Boost Pack, Winds Cruise Packs.
• Pass — Trade License 30 days and Fair Winds Cruise Pass.

Select the platform (Yostar or Facebook) matching your account.

Step 4 — Pay at the best price

Available payment methods:

• MIR bank card from Russian banks.
• SBP (Fast Payment System) via any banking app (Sberbank, Tinkoff, Alfa-Bank, VTB, etc.).
• Crypto — USDT (TRC20, ERC20), BTC, ETH.

The exact list of methods appears on the payment page after selecting a pack.

Step 5 — Receive Gems on your account

After payment confirmation, the order is sent to the supplier. Delivery usually takes 10-30 minutes. Check your in-game balance — the Gems icon is at the top of the main screen. If delayed, contact Ashop support on Telegram with your order number, Player ID, and server platform.

Payment methods in Ashop

Ashop only accepts methods available to Russian players in 2026. No foreign cards, overseas payment accounts, or VPNs are required.

Bank card (MIR, Visa, Mastercard)

MIR cards from Russian banks are accepted without restrictions. Visa and Mastercard from Russian banks use the same processing. This is the most common payment method for RU buyers.

SBP (Fast Payment System)

Pay via QR code or payment link through any banking app connected to SBP — virtually all Russian banks: Sberbank, Tinkoff, Alfa-Bank, VTB, Raiffeisen, Gazprombank, etc. No separate card is needed; just your bank’s app.

Crypto (USDT, BTC, ETH)

If you have a crypto wallet, pay with USDT (main option, TRC20/ERC20 supported), Bitcoin, or Ethereum. Convenient for players from Belarus, Kazakhstan, and other CIS countries.

Safety of top-up by Player ID

Topping up Azur Lane via Ashop does not require account access. The following are never requested:

• Yostar Pass or Facebook password.
• Email linked to your Azur Lane account.
• Inheritance code (account transfer code).
• Two-factor authentication codes.
• Email inbox access.

Delivery uses Player ID — a public identifier like a numeric username. Knowing a Player ID grants no account control: no one can log in, change passwords, or take your ships with just a Player ID.

If any service asks for your Yostar or Facebook password to buy Azur Lane Gems — it’s an account risk. Ashop never requests passwords. Common phishing attempts include "special discounts" in exchange for account access. Never share login details, even with support staff.

Another common mistake: manually typing the Player ID. Always copy it from the game. A single-digit error sends Gems to the wrong account, with no refunds — Yostar does not reverse Player ID deliveries.

How to spend Gems in Azur Lane

Smart Gem spending in the first weeks ensures long-term comfort. Below are priorities by player type.

New players (first 1-2 weeks)

• Expand dock by 30-50 slots — 600-1000 Gems. Without this, you’ll discard valuable ships, many of which become top-tier after Retrofit.
• Unlock Dorm 2nd Floor — 500 Gems. Adds 5 morale recovery slots. Pays off with +20% battle experience.
• New Commanders Support Pack I or II — starter packs with Gems, resources, and items to speed up early progress.

Don’t spend early Gems on skins — expansions pay off faster.

Active players

• Trade License (30 days) — monthly pass with daily Gem and resource bonuses. A standard subscription for daily players.
• Fair Winds Cruise Pass — premium pass with extra progression rewards.
• Promise Ring — 600 Gems for your favorite shipgirl. +5 love levels, stat bonuses, and extra dialogue.
• Academy Slots — for parallel leveling of specialized ships for Operation Siren or META battles.

Collectors

• Live2D Skins — especially limited-time collab skins (Hololive, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Atelier Ryza, etc. — Yostar updates the schedule regularly). Event skins may not return for years.
• Large Gem packs before Anniversary — once a year (August for EN server), all first-purchase x2 bonuses reset. This window offers the most Gems per dollar.

Ashop’s catalog includes all categories — Gems (14 options), Packs (12), and Pass (4), totaling 30 choices tied to Yostar or Facebook platforms.

First-purchase x2 bonus — how it works

In Azur Lane, each Gem pack size can be bought once with a double bonus (e.g., 300 Pile of Gems gives 600 Gems on first purchase). The bonus applies separately to each pack size — you can "double-dip" all available packs in sequence.

Crucially: All x2 bonuses reset annually during Anniversary (August for EN server, since Global’s 2018 launch). If you bought packs last year, after the next Anniversary, you can double-dip again. Many commanders save large Gem purchases for this post-Anniversary window.

Note: The x2 bonus only applies to direct Gem packs. Trade License, Fair Winds Cruise Pass, and New Commanders Support Packs I-IV have fixed contents — no doubling.

Why top up via Ashop

Ashop operates as an independent top-up service for Russian players locked out of Google Play and App Store since 2022.

• Pay at the best price — MIR card, SBP via banking apps, crypto. No foreign cards or overseas accounts needed.
• By Player ID, no password — Yostar or Facebook passwords are never requested. Your account stays fully secure.
• 24/7 Telegram support — help with pack selection, order status, or delayed deliveries.
• 30 products in catalog — all current categories: Gems, Packs, Pass. Linked to Yostar or Facebook.
• Alternative to official stores — Ashop is not affiliated with Yostar or claiming partnership. A functional payment channel for audiences blocked from direct access.
